Client handed me a well broken laptop, screen smashed, keys missing, etc - all which I can sort out, *except*, they also managed to smash the SATA HDD connector on the mainboard 
I've managed to remove the broken unit, ready to accept a new one, but alas it seems to be a case of I have to get it from amother C665 or throw the whole damned thing out, as I cannot find anything on the general electronics parts suppliers which matches, the problem is made worse by the fact that this is a fairly precision alignment setup, so +/-0.5mm in height or position will render it useless.
So....anyone got a spare one? Obviously happy to pay freight/costs.
** The unbroken picture is just for reference, this was off another client laptop that happened to come in a few days later that was of the same model.
